Understanding Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto

Delusional narcissistic megalomaniac - a Pakistani type that recurs to this day!

interesting!!!

``.....just as debilitating as the damage by the Indira to the Indian economic system! ``

Which was nothing compared to what Bhutto did to the Pakistani economic system!

Zalan,
A different but a nice approach to writing a biography! Definitely interesting and looking forward to hearing from you more,

If I were a Pakistani, I would have hung Bhutto simply for:

(1) Inability to broaden his vision (to accommodate the Bengalis and to treat them as equals) which cost the country ``its`` eastern half.

(2) To permanently entrench the armed forces (who, weakened after the 1971 defeat, had realized (for once) their proper place in the scheme of things) into Pakistan as a power center - by so completely ruining the image of civilian rulers - that it became virtually impossible to remove the khakis since.

(3) Wasting a God-sent opportunity to make peace with India - by instead embarking on clandestine operations to ``get back`` at the Indians and consolidating his own corrupt setup.

The damage by the Bhutto to Pakistani political system was just as debilitating as the damage by the Indira to the Indian economic system!

In my view, they can both be legitimately classified as demagogues!

If I were a Pakistani, I would truthfully appraise if my mindset has indeed advanced far from that of the Bhutto, because there is a lesson in there in terms of where such mindset shall invariably take a whole nation to!

In Pakistan few politicians have and had a broad vision and the Bhutto was the one, how many of us know the ideology today`s political parties??
